Reclining Tension Adjustment Instructions
Tension Spring
Wing Nut
NOTICE
– To reduce the risk of product damage:
• Make sure the legrest is closed before tilting forward and adjusting the tension.
• Do not completely tighten the wing nuts. The tension springs should not be completely
compressed after making adjustments. If this occurs, the wing nuts must be loosened
counterclockwise a minimum of ½-turn to avoid damage to the spring tension assembly.
• Do not completely loosen the wing nuts. The spring should not slide on the bolt after making
adjustments. If the spring slides on the bolt, tighten the wing nut clockwise a minimum
of ½-turn after the spring no longer slides on the bolt.
• Adjust both wing nuts equally.
– To reduce the risk of injury:
• This unit is equipped with a tension adjustment feature for the reclining mechanism
that is preset at the factory. The tension setting can be changed for your personal
preference. To avoid tip over and insure stability, do not operate the unit with the
tension adjustment wing nuts completely loosened.
WARNING
Reclining Tension Adjustment Instructions:
You can adjust the tension of the reclining mechanism to respond to your individual size.
1. Unplug the power transformer from the electrical outlet. Gently roll the reclining chair
forward to rest on its arms and top of the back. Locate the wing nuts, one on each side,
toward the back of the recliner under the reclining seat (only one side shown below).
2. Adjust the tension by turning the wing nuts in ¼-turn increments until the desired
setting is reached.
•
A taller or heavier person may choose to increase the reclining tension by tightening
the wing nuts clockwise.
•
A smaller person may choose to decrease the reclining tension by loosening the wing
nuts counterclockwise.
3. Return the reclining chair to the upright position and test the new setting. Make additional
adjustments if needed, repeating these steps. Plug the power transformer directly into a
wall outlet.
3-Position Legrest Operating Instructions
NOTICE
– To reduce the risk of product damage:
• Damage will occur to the mechanism if the legrest is forced closed from the 1st or
2nd position. The legrest must be extended to the 3rd position and then closed.
– To reduce the risk of serious injury:
• Provide a clear path for operation of the back and legrest. Place tables and area rugs
at a distance to allow the legrest to fully extend without rubbing or interference.

close the legrest.
